      The old house we lived in was a 100-year-old adobe house and it did not have an indoor bathroom. There was an out-house across the yard and I remember Grandmother walking slow with her crutches. I was amazed she took it in stride and never complained about it.

      We took this picture of Grandmother in May 1973. We had been stationed in Alaska and were being reassigned to New Jersey. We stopped in Show Low to see Grandmother. I asked her if she knew who I was and she said yes. She never said my name so I don't know if she knew me. The ladies at the home suggested


Grandmother and Dad
we take her outside. While outside I got this picture. The other person is my wife Diane. Also notice the throw on her lap, one of her beautiful quilts. It was not long after we got to New Jersey that we were notified that she had passed. We were grateful that we had been able to visit with her for a short time.
      She gave us enough blocks so that our four daughters could get one. Diane had them framed and I typed up a letter explaining what it was and a little about Grandmother, and we put this picture in the front inside the glass.
      Grandmother also made pillow cases for all her grand-children. We need to do the same with them. I am not sure I know which ones are the ones she made.
      Here is the document we put on the back of the frame that had the quilt block.
